520    "Clementine, sometimes known as Judge, is a 72-year-old 
       reformed con-artist with a penchant for impeccably 
       tailored suits. Her life of crime has led her from the 
       uber-wealthy perfume junkies of belle epoque Manhattan, to
       the scented butterflies of Costa Rica, to the spice 
       markets of Marrakesh, and finally the bordellos of Paris, 
       where she settles down and opens a legitimate shop 
       bottling her favorite extracts for the ladies of the 
       cabarets. In 1941 as the Germans stranglehold on the city 
       tightens, Clem's perfume-making attracts the notice of 
       Oskar Voss, a francophile Nazi bureaucrat, who comes to 
       demand Clem's expertise and loyalty in his mysterious play
       for Hitler's favor. Clem has no choice but to surrender 
       fully to the con, but even though she knew playing the 
       part of collaborator would be dangerous, she never 
       imagined it would be so painfully intimate. At Oskar's 
       behest and in an effort to win his trust, Clem tells him 
       the full story of her life and loves, this time without 
       the cover of the lies she came to Paris to escape. 
       Complete with romance, espionage, champagne towers and 
       haute couture, this full-tilt sensory experience is a 
       dazzling portrait of the underground resistance of 
       twentieth century Paris and a passionate love letter to 
       the power of beauty and community in the face of insidious
       hate"--|cProvided by publisher.
